Where it came from
The 1992 Canadian one-cent coin was minted to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. This specific issue features the 125th-anniversary reverse design, which depicts a maple leaf alongside the dates 1867 and 1992, replacing the standard twig design used on the Canadian penny during that era.
The obverse features the third effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by artist Dora de Pédery-Hunt. This portrait, which shows the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, was used on Canadian coinage from 1990 until 2003. The design was well-received for its regal aesthetic and remains a staple for collectors interested in the transition of Canadian monarchical iconography at the end of the 20th century.
